Eleni Mandell Blue Ribbon Eyes
Blue Ribbon Eyes
I wish I could be
In North Carolina
Lying under the trees
You and me, baby
Birds flying by
Looking into your blue ribbon eyes
Driving to Hamlet
You said, matter of fact
That you'd always love her
And none after that
I swallowed big tears
Under pretty blue skies
Memories of love in your blue ribbon eyes
Why, oh, why
Did you tempt my heart with love
You, only you, made me believe in heaven above
Now I know there's a hell
'Cause I'm burning inside
You smiled and you kissed me
Strong arms held me tight
We laughed in the meadow
You called me "first prize"
I'll never forget your blue ribbon eyes
